My native state has so many things I love. We subscribe to Texas Highways magazine, and some of the staffers there have made a list of 35 things they love about Texas. Their lists of 35 things they love about Texas are so true they nearly had me all teary. Actually I was. I made a list, too, but am still working on it.

Below is from an email I received today,and I''m using it for my post today. I still have the cough and cold, but it is getting some better. My doc gave me some antibiotics because my eardrum looked pretty red. Plus she read me the riot act about not using my inhaler more often. So, today's post isn't my personal writing, but it is interesting.

Only in TexasA history/geography lesson for all Texans, used-to-be Texans, adopted Texans or wanna-be Texans:

We went to see "The Artist" yesterday/ It is a good movie. Due to the lack of loud noises and over the top graphics we both nodded off. It is a sweet movie, though.

My throat is sore and I just feel crummy today, so am going to go back to bed maybe in a little bit. It has to be allergies. The elm and cedar have been high lately. Plus the in-law's things I've been going through have dust and cat dander in the boxes and I have the garage door open while I'm out there. *Ahchoo*

This week has been a busy one! The Estate Sale is starting. My hubby signed a contract with them on Thursday. Under the terms of the contract we had to get all we wanted out before this weekend. Got to tell you I'm getting better. We got it all out and now we are taking stuff back over there that we got out last spring. Last year I was so laid up with the fractured vertebrae there was no way I could help him or even look at what he had brought over. Today I started going through boxes to see what all could go back and my back hurts and I'm stiff as an ironing board, but I cooked dinner.

We rented "Moneyball" tonight and it is a very good movie. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill gave good perfomances. Probably not enough for the movie to win best picture over "The Artist". We will go see that on Wednesday at the Rave theater. They have a $5 Tuesday deal and a special deal for folks in Fort Worth who take our newspaper. We've been getting in to see the movies for $5 for both of us on Wednesday. It is buy one get one free and there must have been another special deal. Regular tickets are $9.50 each and seniors $7.50. We didn't get there early enough for the matinee, either. I don't know, but I like it. It is my favorite theater because it has super screens and great sound. I love movies.

So, other than the Estate Sale and going to the movies and a lot of meetings and appointments, it has been a regular week. Last Sunday our kids in Granbury had us down for dinner. I took the pink depression glass dishes to my dil. She was happy and it is good for her to have them before she is old. She will love them and use them. That is what they are for. I kept one glass that was chipped at the rim to use as a vase. It wasn't good for much of anything else.

Oh, btw-Nitwit 1 if you come by...the naked ladies have come up. It is very early, but it has been so warm this winter. On this date last year it was snowing. We haven't really had any winter at all. When do they normally bloom?

My word! Shaq O'Neil is on the Jimmy Fallon show in a pink bikini with Jimmy Fallon's name on the back. Shaq lost a bet and he had to walk two blocks in a pink bikini with Fallon's name on the back. Shaq is a giant! He hugged a little ole lady when he entered the theater where Fallon has his show, and she was dwarfed in his arms. Jimmy Fallon isn't doing too well in the height department next to him. Just hit the tivo button so I can show hubs in the morning. No way can I describe that adequately.

Have a great weekend and I hope your favorite team wins the super bowl. We have opted to stay home and watch on our tv in our house and eat our food.

Randomness

Some days are random and some are just wildly frenetic. It will be hard to find, but I so enjoy a totally Serene Day. This blog will be about my search for those days and tell about the absolute randomness in our lives. We pretty much never know what the day has in store for us...that makes life so interesting.
